And for that matter, why wont a single Democrat stand up and tell Bush to? 90 Republicans are standing firm and telling him to pardon the 2 agents (who were arrested illegaly, and one was beaten close to death 2 days ago in jail). Its a travesty of justice!

Those that gave a thumbs down to my proposition about lowering the voting age really missed the target.

1. Lack of Intelligence (Maturity) - Again, intelligence or maturity are not prerequisites to participating in the system. A high school drop out who is 18 years old is allowed to vote the same way an 18 year old college student is. And (again) lack of intelligence were arguments made to try and prevent giving the vote to women and African-Americans. Historically this is not an acceptable rationale.

2. Lack of Interest - Why should 16 year olds have an interest when they are not allowed to participate in the process. Lowering the voting empowers them and encourages them to learn more about issues and the civic process.

3. Taxes! - A 16 year old can get a job. His paycheck can be taxed. And yet he has no say in how that money is used. Wasn't there a country founded because of "Taxation without representation?"

Try again?

Leftists want to ban marriage of 3 years that do not produce a child.

Here is the article.

http://www.nwcn.com/statenews/washington/stories/NW_020507WABinitiative957SW.546c6a4d.html

So now they lose on same sex marriage, throw a tantrum, and want to ruin marriage for others.

Does this prove the point that social conservatives make that any change in the definition of traditional marriage undermines the whole thing.

Everything war opponents say about Iraq appears to apply there too. It's a civil war, and we shouldn't get stuck in the middle. We can't stop these ancient hatreds. It does not affect US security (this is more demonstrably true of Darfur - Iran is not next door).

Wouldn't every death - no matter who caused it - then be the US's fault, as some claim in Iraq? (Yes, one could say that the US "caused" the problems in Iraq, but the overall deaths are down from the days of Saddam's mass executions. Do we get the credit, then?)

Would every company that supplies resources for the Darfur effort be accused of "profiteering?"

Finally, should those who say we should do something there agree to enlist themselves, or keep quiet?

I'm just trying to figure out where those who oppose the mission in Iraq would ever send US troops on a "humanitarian" mission.

3 cars, 2 had alarms.

Purse/credit cards stolen from one.
Drivers license and small amount of cash from another.

5 or 6 other families in the neighborhood experienced the same thing last night (according to the cop that came by and wrote up a report.)

Like it or not, if Roe v Wade were overturned tomorrow, all that means is that there is not a constitutional right to one, and the issue returns to the states. Several large states, like NY, NJ, California, Illinois, and others - with a very high percentage of the national population - would keep abortion legal.

And, are the pro-life forces prepared to take pregnant women into custody to prevent them from seeking abortions?

Isn't moral persuasion the way to go to reduce abortions?

I am one who believes that the voting age should be lowered to age 16.

If you are 16 years old you can get a job. The federal government takes income taxes and Social Security out of your paycheck but, as a 16 year old, you have no say on how that money is spent. By lowering the voting age these kids are given representation.

Further, they become more civic minded by participating in the process.

Finally it requires politicians to work harder, It's easier to market yourself to a small group of people.

Not intelligent enough? This was the same argument made by those who did not want women or blacks to vote. Further, intellectual capacity is not a requirement to vote. For example, we do not require all voters to have a high school diploma.

Not mature enough? Who here doesn't know an immature 18 year old? Who here doesn't know a mature, responsible 16 year old?

My point is, if you're gonna answer "no," give us a better reason than "gutt instinct."

Okay, the supporters of the Iraqi War claim that it is a war on terror, right? At least that’s what I keep hearing over and over on Yahoo Answers. They also claim that it’s an effective action against terrorism because we haven’t seen an attack on American soil since 9-11.

First of all, there are over one billion Muslims worldwide. And even if we conservatively estimate that only ½ of 1% are Wahhabis and Jihadis—radical extremists—that translates to 5,000,000 potential terrorists willing to die for their cause throughout the world. So, while all of our resources are focused on Iraq, and our troops are wedged between a bloody civil war involving the Sunnis and Shiites, battling a handful of terrorists in the process, who’s policing terrorist activities in the rest of the world?

This is more of a statement than a question. It goes out to all my fellow brits who are jumping all over this and using it as an excuse to bash the whole of the American forces. It's a damn shame that things like this happen, but when the adrenalin is pumping you have to expect mistakes to be made, it just so happens that in war the mistakes are deadly. Those pilots probably should face some sort of inquest, but not to punish them, more so to fnd out how we can stop things like this happening again. They have to live with what they did, and that is going to be so hard for them. Anybody who thinks that they fired on friendlies and don't suffer psychologically from it is a hard hearted fool. So please fellow anglo's, please stop bashing on Americans because of this, it doesn't serve our countries or alliance, which for 70 years plus has been the greatest on earth, at all. United we stand, United we should fall. Churchill said, "Together there is nothing we can't accomplish".
